DJI’s Fly Safe system consists of various tiered zones that restrict your DJI drones’ ability to fly. Throughout the year of 2021 we watched as the top drone manufacturers took the most advanced flying payloads and downsized them to fit and function on our shoe “sized” drones. December 2021 DJI released the long anticipated Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine, taking the Hasselblad 4/3” full frame sensor and packing it into the foldable Mavic airframe we are all familiar with. Much like thermal sensors, up to this point you had to purchase a much larger drone and separate camera/payload in order to capture video or photo using a 4/3” full frame sensor. Being flying with no problems whatsoever and very smoothly with a Samsung A22, which is not in the dji fly app compatibility list. The A20 used to be in it, but since the last update, it is anymore.
Geofencing has a massive database of three-dimensional areas all over the United States and Europe where flight is restricted in one form or another. These areas include airports, prisons, power plants, and other sensitive areas. It’s a simple matter of your hardware not being powerful enough.
Your personal data will not be shared with any third-party companies. After editing, you can upload your creations to SkyPixel and interact with a community of aerial photographers. Enjoy the work of others and show off your creations in high definition with just a tap.
The first thing I learned from traveling with a drone is that the amount of things I have to charge is starting to get out of hand. Traveling with a drone, you will have to charge the battery inside your drone, all the spare batteries, and the remote control, all the while your phone has to have enough juice left to control your drone. Again, the same goes for when you are traveling somewhere with your drone. Be sure to check your DJI Fly app to see if the place you are visiting is in a no-fly zone or not. You don’t want to be hauling all your drone gear to realize when you arrive that you can not fly anywhere. That was me when I was in Chiangmai, Thailand, where the airport is located right in the middle of the city.
There was a demand for DJI to incorporate some type of geofencing system that would prohibit their drones from entering certain airspace.

The zones come in a number of categories but there are only two that you actually need to take action in order to unlock. Check out the M3 performing an asset inspection of a dji fly public safety communications tower. In conclusion both remotes have a very ergonomic feel and function well but I expected more from DJI along with others who did as well.
This is great for avoiding obstacles while flying for fun, inspections or mapping/modeling but is a killer for the video production crowd. There is nothing worse than nailing a shot just to have Artificial Intelligence jerk you off course because it saw something that wasn’t actually a collision factor. Professionals are taking the training wheels off, shutting down obstacle detection and relying primarily on operator input and awareness to nail the shot. 35 to 36 minutes of flight, when compared to other drones currently available, is becoming the normal and what pilots can expect from their professional and enterprise drones. Charging time of a single battery using standard home wall outlet power supply is consistently around 60 minutes.
Well, anything that’s connected to the Leica name is good in my book. Although the Evo Lite+ is equipped with robust carbon fibre arms, the overall build quality of the fuselage and battery housing isn’t quite up to DJI’s standard. For instance, when folded, the Evo Lite+’s prop arms protrude a tad more which makes it a teeny weeny bit more awkward to handle when putting it in its purpose-built bag. However, this is no slight on the Evo Lite+ because, once it’s is in the air, none of this stuff matters.
It allows you to plan waypoint missions ahead of time on your desktop before heading out for your flight. Litchi also features a set of autonomous intelligent flight modes including the ability to track subjects. Personally I think the panoramas and tiny planets, that are automatically stitched together, are superior in quality. When you first fly your drone, you might find your footage a little jerky and not smooth when you tilt your camera using your remote control’s wheel.
